The NFL has suspended Pittsburgh Steelers safety Damontae Kazee for the rest of the season following his vicious hit on Colts receiver Michael Pittman Jr. over the weekend.

Kazee will miss the rest of the regular season, as well as any potential Steelers playoff games. He is suspended without pay.

The NFL said in a statement that the suspension of Damontae Kazee is due to “repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, including during this Saturday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.
